Primordial Dimensions

Trying to remove the thought of his family and father from his mind, Shane decided to look at his newly purchased bow.

Not only was the bow made out of rare, endurable wood, but also the string was manufactured from a mid to late elite stage beast tendon.

As such, Shane couldn't help but smile proudly as he looked at the bow in his spatial ring.

With his newly purchased equipment, he would be able to increase his combat prowess in addition to his already accumulated combat experience.

As if that was not enough, Shane would be able to sell his equipment for more than 50%, as long as it was not extremely damaged once it lost the required efficiency.

This meant, as long as he reached the peak apprentice or low expert stage, Shane would be able to regain some of his investments.

In the end, he wouldn't lose everything he purchased today, as he would regain some of it which made Shane extremely satisfied.

Somehow, Shane's personality was extremely stingy, even though he grew up in an essentially luxury mansion without having to suffer any kind of poor life, like other youths around his age, had to endure.

There were only a few reasons, why Shane decided to take the third path for his journey throughout the Basic Primordial dimensions.

These reasons were relatively easy to decipher as Shane required a high amount of funds in the future in order to purchase the Apprentice and Expert [Mythic] body refining technique in addition to the multiple purification techniques, Shane already knew of.

He knew it would be an arduous adventure but Shane was sure that the benefits he could obtain were worth much more than the torture and challenges he had to face

In the end, the same opportunity was given to everyone, but most humans thought it was impossible without even trying, while some tried, only to give up midway.

There hadn't been a single human that achieved anything extraordinary within the Primordial Dimensions, except a few ones that boasted about their achievements, as they seemed to have cleared an advanced primordial dimension ruin.

Others were full of themselves because of their extraordinary skills, like some tamers who thought of their tamed beasts as if they were superior to humans at the [Ruler] stage.

This might be possible but even so, most tamed beasts would be weaker than humans at the same stage, and boasting about that only indicated that the tamer had low self-esteem.

Even Uncle Max told him the same and Shane had never heard him boasting about his wyvern which made him unexpectedly proud because he thought of his uncles and aunts more than about his father.

With his newly purchased bow and other necessities, Shane went outside as the sun began to rise slowly, shining brightly on Shane's cleaned face.

Umbra was coiled around his shoulder like everyday and Shane wanted to upgrade his quality as soon as possible.

However, his curiosity towards his rusty archery skill was more important to Shane right now as the ingredients for Umbra's quality enhancement wouldn't run away.

There wouldn't be much of a change either way and he was sure that the upgrade from the rare quality to extraordinary would take much longer.

With his previous quality upgrade taking 8 hours, Shane estimated the time to be at least three times longer and he wanted to refine his physique in the meantime.

As such, Shane wanted to test his newly acquired bow and arrows before he would have to take off at least one day in order to upgrade Umbra's physique.

Walking out of the inn, he paid one silver as his clothes dirtied the bedding before he went towards the shelter gates.

There, he saw familiar faces as he faintly remembered the kind guards that probably brought him to the inn he slept through the last day.

Walking towards the guards, they didn't seem to notice him as Shane bent down before them in order to thank them sincerely.

Taken off guard, the young guards couldn't understand what happened as Shane explained who he was.

Looking at him with doubt and widened eyes, they couldn't believe that Shane was the beggar-like figure they brought into the inn the day before.

Understanding their confusion, Shane could only smile lightly, as he was aware of his outer appearance over the last weeks.

From his etiquette lessons, he learned to behave nicely and politely while he wasn't allowed to look even slightly shabby.

However, over the last two weeks, his outer appearance was more than a little bit shabby for the majority of the time.

He himself didn't mind that and he would be fine with it, as long as any combat style or something similar like that wasn't hindered through it.

With his bow wrapped around him and multiple tier-1 common quality arrows within the quiver that was attached to his belt, Shane left the RadiantRing shelter once again.

He was confident in his Archery mastery as it had only been slightly more than one month since he had trained with a bow at a distance of 100 meters.

Even though his target was inanimate, the distance of 100 meters was still vast, as his physique was at the 3rd Mortal stage at that time, while his mana pool was still empty.

Now his cultivation was at the 8th Mortal stage, while his physique was at the 7th mortal stage.

With this, he was confident to hit an inanimate being 100 meters away, even if he hadn't trained his archery skills for a month.

He might as well improve his capabilities as long as he got the hang of his past archery skills once again.

Entering the forest attached to the outer area of the radiant mountain ring, Shane nocked an uncommon tier-1 arrow at his bow, as he tested the pulling force a few times.

`Heavy…` Shane lamented after a two pulls up to his chin, as he was forced to slowly pull back the string to its innate position due to the heavy force, weighing on his arms.

After a few tests, he concluded that he was only capable to pull the bow back three times in a row.

Pulling it back more often than that would injure his muscles, which could injure him temporarily or even permanently if he overexerted his muscles too much.

At most, Shane could activate his [Berserk] skill in order to pull back the Tier-1 bow more often than previously stated.

This could be advantageous but even so, Shane was still somewhat happy to figure out his limit.

Even a single arrow might change the outcome in a fight against multiple opponents when a group of peak wild beasts came into his view.
